New York, May 21.--Archbishop Corri-
gan received the following letter to-day
regarding the case of DR.. McGlynn:
To Our Venerable Brother, Michael 4. Corri-
gan, Archbishop Of Netc York;
LEO p. p Kill
VENERABLE BRoTHra-H Health and Apostolic
Benediction: Your letter Of the I'd day of
April last has reached us, in which you lament
the contumacious disobedience of priest one
of your subjects, not only towards yourself but
seek TO bring before the supreme tribunal OF our
authority the false doctrines concerning
the right OF property disseminated by
speeches sr. We, there RfsGe,' moved 40 by
these, your words expressed with just grief
of heart and III conscientious discharge of
duty, have accurately considered the whole
series of facts from the beginning, and have
especially seen with commentator your firm
ness.
LAMENTs THE REBELLION.
1t has been indeed great grief to us to see
the rebellion which has arisen against your
y
some craftily devised Vaccinations and open
conspiracy of the faction men, and our anguish
has been all the greater since, from the informa-
ton lately conveyed to us, we hear that there
are some others of the clergy imbued with the
doctrines of this priest, who have not hest
tated to adhere to him, although the
clergy in general of the whole diocese
gladly remained with an unchanged will in
faithful obedience and loyalty to you. 1t is
indeed grateful to us that you have laoored to
crush, ere they sprang up, the vicious seeds OF
helping the masses. Nor is it less to your praise
that with long suffering and patience you have
not ceased, with watchful industry, to calm the
restless spirits, although they have not refrain
ed from ISLANDERS and reproaches against you
WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT.
1t is fitting then that you should be of good
heart, apply all your strength to the work of
the salvation Of souls, and in defending the
sanctity of the faith and the discipline. Never
theless, led by Christian charity, you will leave
nothing untried, that with paternal benevolence
you may embrace those who are deceived by
this new doctrine if they return to wiser coun-
sci. We, however, will never permit any injury
to your good name, much less to the authority of
this Apostolic See, and we will not fail
to make known to you through the congrega-
ton of the propaganda, timely measures for the
correction OF the rebellion. Meanwhile, we ear
nestly pray the God of consolation that He will
console you tried by so many cases. and as
pledge of His divine favor and proof of our
special affection for you, we lovingly bestow
upon you and the clergy and people committed to
your care our apostolic benediction. Given at
Rome, at st. Peters, on the 4th day of May,
1887, in the tenth year of our pontifcate
LEO P. P. XIII,
THINKS THE LETTER is RIDICULOUS.
Henry George was shown the Pope's let
ter, and after he had read it he said: This
is in reply, no doubt, to the garbled state
ment which Archbishop Corrigan sent to
the Pope. 1t does not decide the case at all,
for the Pope has not examined both sides of
the question" During the reading of the
letter George ridiculed number of the ex-
pressions, and said he felt sorry for the
Archbishop, who thought he had been so
badly used that he had to write whining
